John McCain's own words on January 3 regarding the number of years U.S. troops would stay in Iraq: "Maybe a hundred." Then on Face the Nation on January 6, McCain told Bob Schieffer, "I don’t think Americans are concerned if we’re there for one hundred years or a thousand years or ten thousand years."

My point in the previous post was, who is going to pay for all this, and is the money well spent. If Muncle considers that "tripe", he is certainly entitled to his opinion. I think most of us on this forum consider the war and its associated economic issues to be a little more important than that.
